Product Reviews

My husband got this game back in the late '70s or early '80s and grew
up playing it. I remember the first time he asked me to join his family
and play it. I thought for sure it was going to be seriously lame. The
original box is not very attractive and theirs was falling apart. I couldn't
believe how much fun we ended up having. And being from the Pacific
Northwest (USA) it's fun to see names of places we know.

My kids now get to play farmer sometimes, but as our game is so old we
have to be really careful with it so we don't play often. I am totally
buying this new copy it seems like the same old version with little to no
changes except the packaging.

I tried getting a copy for Christmas at one of the mall stores but every
time I went in they were sold out again!

Thank you Funagain Games for helping us find old favorites and new
quirky games to entertain our families. Kudos!

If you like the idea, you'll love the game

This is in my mind THE ideal game for a laid-back evening with good-
humored family and friends. The official version is too long, but it allows
you to shorten it.

This game is not Monopoly, Life, or Candyland, all of which are games I
hate. To compare this game to "Monopoly" is like comparing a barrel of
flour to a barrel of gunpowder. They look similar but feel totally
different. This game is certainly not very competitive; you simply play
as neighboring farmers. At the same time though, it is involving and
engaging, as each player battles the fates to scrape a living. This is
great fun if you have any sense for irony, and can stand everyone
having a good laugh at your many misfortunes.

If your or your friends like being passively entertained, DO NOT buy this
game.

If you want to pretend to be a farmer, this is the only way to go.

Great Game

November 16, 2008

My dad got this game for christmas one year when I was still a kid. All of
us loved it. We played it so much the sticker things wouldn't stick to the
board anymore. I'm glad that I was able to find it.
